iSAMS manages the operational truth of your school – student records, pastoral care, attendance, finance, HR. Salesforce manages your relationships – admissions pipelines, parent communications, marketing campaigns, enrolment tracking.
Both are best-in-class. But without a connection between them, your teams are doing the same job twice. Data gets exported, reformatted, and re-entered. Records diverge. Time disappears.
It doesn’t have to work this way.
What a Two-Way Integration Changes
When iSAMS and Salesforce are connected via a live API integration, applicant data flows automatically between the two systems from the point an application is accepted.
Once an applicant reaches “Accepted – Deposit Paid” in Salesforce, their record syncs into iSAMS instantly – no waiting for enrolment, no manual re-keying. Status updates and confirmations flow back from iSAMS to Salesforce on a near real-time basis, syncing every 10 minutes, so admissions teams always have a current view of where each accepted applicant stands.
No exports. No re-entry. No version mismatch for the applicant data that matters most during the admissions-to-enrolment window.
We Built This for a Global School
NimbusPoint designed and delivered a bespoke Salesforce–iSAMS integration for a global school – a network of international schools using iSAMS as their operational backbone across multiple sites.
With no native connector available, we built a custom API integration that eliminated manual data entry of accepted applicants, reduced errors, and gave the admissions team a live, synchronised view of applicant status from acceptance through to enrolment. This integration sits alongside our AdmissionSync product as part of a growing partnership that reflects the school’s commitment to Salesforce as their central platform for student operations.
The Outcomes That Matter
- Time back – admissions teams stop re-keying accepted-applicant data between systems
- Fewer errors – one applicant record synced automatically, not copy-pasted
- Smarter engagement – Salesforce’s AI and automation tools only perform when the data feeding them is clean and current
- Operational resilience – critical for school groups managing complex, multi-site, international structures
Forrester found that schools on Salesforce Education Cloud see a 15% increase in first-year retention, 10% growth in fundraising, and a 5.5% rise in enrolment. Connected, trusted data is what makes those numbers possible.
